Here is mine, it is built for road racing. It fits the car very well. I couldn't personally bring myself to buy an autopower/off the shelf option as they just fit badly.

Looks effin good..! If I didn't drive my car more on the street than track, I may gotten a little more aggressive with mine as you did. But I couldn't see having to literally CLIMB in and out all the time, my fixed seats are enough climbing out and falling in for me lol plus I wanted to keep my interior bits in for a more "clean" look.
Not to take away from yours by any means. It looks great, I can respect the amount of work you and the fella on the 1st page with all the gusseting (also sick as F) did.. Lots of work and extremely good on the eyes!!

Finally my cage lol

Sorry for pic whoring lol but I figured I'd share my whole build. My buddy and I did it in a few nights. (One really late night) lol
I put in plates as per every racing orginizations rules, I put the main hoop where the bins are so it took a lot of in and out for trimming but well worth it as I wanted to keep my interior. The rear X brace will be obvious on the pics. We cut and coped the tubing one piece at a time and got it tacked, took it out and welded it solid- careful not to let it move-then welded it to the plates we had welded in earlier. Honestly grinding down the insulation paint crap under the carpet took the longest and was the biggest PITA. It's THICK and gets EVERYWHERE!!! Make sure to repaint it on top an bottom so it doesnt rust. The pics of the seats are for finished product. They don't rub, as the pics show. We got those dialed basically last minute because the brackets in the kit ("L" shaped pieces attaching the seats to the rails) didn't give the side to side adjustability I needed to not rub. We also modified the rails to get forward to back adjustability. Painted them and the cage, re-re-re-re(a few more re's lol) remounted the bins and seats, and a short hour, pathetic excuse for a carwash later it was off to the carshow. Still smelling like paint that had dried JUST in time for the final install.
Again, sorry for the terrible pics.
